I guess its more like wearing fake muscles under a shirt, there is no one who has red nails naturally, but there are people with bigger boobs or more muscular

Should I not wear heels because they hide reality? Should a man not wear a baggy shirt so he doesn’t hide reality?

I guess I just see presentation is reality. If we all dress out of character are we really giving an accurate presentation of the people we are?

If a woman regularly wears extensions, why present to me a lack of extensions? If a man regularly grows out his beard, why shave it (or does facial hair work the other way?)

That would be a different case I think, if its their normal then its just normal to wear it on a date, this would be more about since its a date, someone wearing different clothes than normal to try and look different and "better"

But I guess my point is that a push-up bra is not inherently any more artificial than anything else. It really just seems we’re giving more importance and scrutiny than is warranted.

I’m sapphic and the thought of “true breast size” has never once crossed my mind. I’ve been with women of all breast sizes and “ooh if she were a cup size different this wouldn’t work” has never been a thing

Bluntly it feels like a way to blanket judge hypothetical women online for something that doesn’t (or shouldn’t) matter in the real world

At least in my view isn't about being a woman, the bra is just in question because its the thing that started the conversation, it would be about someone going out of their way to make their body seem different than normal to meet a possible partner.

In the end, its shouldn't be a big deal to neither of the people involved, but its just a behaviour that can be a bit weird
